Washington DC

YAY. We got away for the weekend. It was much needed! Five of my housemates and I boarded the MARC train enroute to DC on Friday afternoon.
This is what we did:
Wandered around
Stayed in an awesome International Hostel
Had scrumptious dinner and brew samples
Hung out at a hookah lounge (strawberry was our choice)
Did a free 5 hour walking tour with the hostel...saw all the sites!
Wandered around the Holocaust Memorial Museum for a few hours
Saw an all girls high school prep school performance of Annie. It was amazing!
Had a chauffeured suburban ride back to the Point...little expensive but cheaper than Amtrak!

Great trip, great company, great memories...because there were no expectations, it was all a delight! Here are some pics:
